Kadzik's Mordheim Skink Warband

[shahryar]

what did you use for those tiles on the base?

 

[Kadzik]

I use plastic ice cream boxes. They are rather thin circa 1.5 mm, so looks good and are easy to cut.

 

[Prophet of Tepok]

Looking really neat!
How'd you paint the gold on the chief though?
I love how it looks old!

Keep it up!

 

[Kadzik]

Gold is painted with Glorous Gold (Vallejo), washed with badab black and gryphone sepia, one more layer of gold. I don't use many layers on metalics, cause I cannot paint them, so 2 or 7 look same


I've made some more terrain. Just WIPs but you could see how it will look like.

Giant turtle statue. It needs some highlights on trees and static grass.



Fountain



Observatory. View of the night sky falls through a hole in the roof and is reflected in the smooth tract of the pond

amazing looking scenery you made ther nice work! cant wait to see it finnished

 

[strewart]

Wow, that is fantastic looking terrain! I very much look verward to seeing some of it finished.

 

[Kadzik]

Thanks for comments!
I've finished painting base for observatory. I have to paint this pond and use some static grass and moss.





Tower is in black paint and wait for drybrushing

 

[Kadzik]

Tower and hill are almost done.





I want to add some darker grass and some moss.
Interior is not finished yet

Hey, excellent work here! Nice to see more of the older models being used and converted (my particular passion too). The little temple guard head on the skink totally rocks. I also agree that the older style Krox look quite sinister and, well, cold blooded

Definitely going to follow up with some similar work in my horde...check it out here when you have some time

 

[Larinus]

Wow! That is one sweet observatory. Shame you can't create a mould to collect the paint as well, if you could I would think of selling a model of it to GW.

looks amzing wish i could create something so lifelike, looking forward to seeing interiors

It's easier than you think This are my first pieces of scenery, so I am little experienced, but 90% of great effect is not talent but just solid work, some precision and time consumption I wish more people just try and make some scenery; wargaming will be nicer

 

[Kadzik]

I've started big watchtower.




I want getting on top impossible, so I will make platform in the middle, and stairs upward will be ruined.

 

[lustria]

looks really nice cant wiat to see it finitoed!

[Kadzik]

Thanks for comment Lustria

I've used styrofoam cubes to cover the whole tower:

 

[lustria]

hey no problem, i think what your doing is amazing, i had some tries myself, perhaps ill letyou see them though i havnt done anythin quite that big yet hehe looking forward to see it based and painted

 

[Kadzik]

Tower is finished:




Emmm....not exactly finished I want big mirror on the top. It's used to make light signals, cause simple fire is quite ordinary

Used colours:
Stairs and platform are black basecoat and 5 drybrushed with grays to white.
Walls are maybe 10 or even 12 drybrushes of brown, greys, reds, sephia, ochre etc.

Most impressive. Question for you, in an earlier post, you stated that you used cut Styrofoam. Did you cut all those individually or do you have a mass production method?

Individually....and not Firstly I cut 3 or 4 squares maybe half centimeter thick (itr should warries to make every brick different), 10 cm long and maybe 4 centimeter width. Then I take all squares one on another (like a sandwich ) and cut strips half centimeters width (again accuracy is not so important). Now I have 20-30 such strips. I take 10, take them like a vegetables and cut in squares It's difficult to explain, but imagine cutting carrot It's quite fast. If you need every brick to have exactly accurate dimensions, it would be prolblem and my system is useless.

wow.. looks amazing wish i could play with scenery like that
